investigation made by Mr.. okey for the Depart
ment 10 sttll IN Mr. Fsirchisds hands, and no 40
ton on II has yet been announced Meanwhile
the Department has cut on their money, and the
commissioners are threatening TO bring suit 20
compel the Secretary to pass upon their accounts
The Commission have certain privileges at Castls
Garden, express and other business privileges
which they let out and whish source of income
The Department asked for the accounts In the
matter OF these privileges and the commission re-
fused TO submit them, holding that they were ac-
countaole TO the New York state legislature only.
Thereupon the Secretary ordered that their ac-
counts be laid aside and not passed upon until
they should be submitted In their entirety. The
commission are entirely without funds now, ft is
understood, and intend to try to borrow, until
they can force the Department 20 settle their 40
countA The general impression has been that the
Secretary would break Oh all connection with the
commission by terminating the contract with
them; but the matter may 90 TO Congress for &C
ton. The commission are accused OF permitting
outrageous impositions TO be practiced against the
immigrants

THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT SOON TO BE SELF
SUPPORTING.

THE P0sT OFFICE DEPARTMENT SOON TO BE SELF
SUPPORTING.
One OF the features OF the Postmaster Generals
annual report. which is now nearly completed,
will be the statement that the Department by the
end Of next year Will probably be self-supporting.
The defcit has been lessened nearly three million
during the past year, and with a continued in
crease In the revenues which last year amounted
to about 10 per cent and a decrease In the ex-
penSeS which was about 81 per cent, there is
every prospect that the revenues will equal the
penditures by the end Of next year. For the year
ending June /, 1886, the deficit was over eight
million, and for the year ending June 1, 1887, the
deficit was over five million, including OF course,
the amount credited to the Union Pacific railroad
for the TRANSPORTATION or the mails The large
increase In the revenues is the result in part OF
tributable TO the use OF the mails in car ying mer
chandise, which, owing to recent regulations OF
the Department has become very popular.

THE LEVY SACRED CoSCERr.-A quite numerous
audience gathered at the National Theater last
night 10 listen TO the sacred concert by the Levy
company. The great cornetist was OF course the
program for but two numbers, he had played with
the usual admirable effect six or seven before the
audience was satisfied. Leyys power and beauty
and range OF expression on the cornet are as re-
markable as ever, and last night awoke the Gus
tomary enthusiasm. Prof Battestini, the tenor,
has good voice, and sang celeste Aida" very ac-
oeptably. Prof. Waldecker, in the absence OF Mr..
Hire ..Iie.d, presided at the piano In his usual
masterful manner.
